Suddenly, a crossbow arrow was shot out of the room. Jiang Shuo, Hun, and Nan who were lying outside the wall were all startled. However, the old man shook his head casually and avoided the several arrows that were shot, just like him. I already knew that there was a crossbowman hidden inside.
Jiang Shuo then thought about it: That's right. The old man made some trouble outside first, and then went to the west courtyard to rescue people. He came and went very quickly. I'm afraid he had already stepped on the spot more than once. It could be seen when he started to move. , the old man is quite familiar with the number and location of the guards inside and outside, so he should naturally know that there are crossbowmen hidden in the house.
The old man avoided the first round of crossbow shots and immediately dodged and rushed into the house. Then he heard the sound of the second and third rounds of crossbows firing continuously. However, they obviously missed the shots, but black armored warriors kept smashing them into pieces. He was thrown out of the house.
The sound of crossbows being fired gradually faded until it disappeared, and there were seven or eight Xuanjia soldiers lying in the courtyard. The old man walked out of the house again and stood in the center of the courtyard, saying loudly: "Hiding friends, please show up."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: It turns out that the old man had discovered them a long time ago. Just as he was about to emerge from behind the wall, Nan Jiyun pressed his shoulder and shook his head gently.
Suddenly, the doors of the side rooms on both sides of the yard opened wide, and dozens of black-armored warriors holding crossbows came out. Crossbow-wielding warriors also appeared on the roof, and dozens more warriors poured into the corner doors on both sides of the yard, one holding a sword and the other holding a shield. samurai. .
It turned out that the "hidden friends" the old man mentioned were these Xuanjia troops. Jiang Shuo felt ashamed in his heart. Just now, Hun Weiming was squatting motionless. It seemed that his experience was still inferior compared to these two old Jianghu. It's far away.
A man walked out of the group of warriors, it was Luo Xishi. He laughed loudly and said: "Boy, how brave are you? How dare you come to rob the prison alone."
The old man chuckled and said: "Luo Yushi, with all due respect, you Xuanjia Army is too inexperienced. Even though so many people have come, I'm afraid you can't do anything to me."
Luo Xishi scolded: "Young man, you still dare to pretend to be crazy and act stupid in front of Luo. You came here a few days ago to try to get some ideas. Don't you know? I deliberately found some old, weak and remnant soldiers to guard the yard to lure you into the finals. You really know how to be a member of the Xuanjia Army." How about being vulnerable?"
This old man's beard and hair were all white, and his face was lined with wrinkles. He looked more like seventy than eighty. For some reason, Luo Xishi called him "boy", which was quite funny.
The old man disapproved and said: "Stop talking big words!" Before he finished speaking, he shot out like an arrow and rushed towards the warrior on one side. The only thing he was afraid of was the crossbowmen above and below the houses on both sides, so he got close to the sword as soon as he took action. The shield warriors fought together so that the crossbowmen had no angle to shoot.
This unexpected attack left the crossbowman with no time to react. The old man raised his hand and slapped a sword and shield warrior. The warrior raised his hand and raised his shield. The old man slapped the shield with his palm. The shield was a leather shield. It looked like It was very light and not a heavy shield. There was only a muffled sound of "Boom". The warrior was not knocked out like the previous warriors. Instead, he steadily caught the old man's palm, almost at the same time. A sharp knife thrust out from under the shield and stabbed straight into the old man's waist and abdomen.
The old man was startled, pressed his hand on the shield, and jumped up to avoid the stab. However, as soon as he jumped up, several crossbowmen immediately saw the opportunity to pull the hanging knife and shoot arrows. The old man had expected that the crossbowmen would fire arrows. , swiping on the shield, he sank down to avoid the crossbow arrows and at the same time hit another warrior on the side. The man also raised his shield to resist.
The old man's kung fu was very special. When he used his palm, he seemed to be aiming lightly and without any intention of charging hard, but this time he obviously used more force, and his sleeves bulged up. The hit on the shield made a louder sound, but the warrior only took half a step back and stabilized his body with a bow. His counterattack was different from the previous warrior's move. He raised his shield to the right and knocked the old man away. Swinging to one side, he slashed out with the knife, chasing after him and slashing at his side.
However, the old man had already used the force of the shield to turn outwards, turning around and rushing towards the third warrior. This time he was walking close to the ground. The crossbowman had no shooting angle and no one shot.
The old man raised his hand and slapped the third man. As expected, the man also raised his shield to resist, but the old man no longer used his palm to block it. He just waited for the warrior to raise his shield to block. He turned around along the shield, and the warrior waved When the sword struck again, he had already used the shield to move behind the warrior, so the sword could not reach him.
Seeing the plan, the old man raised his palm and patted the warrior on the back. samurai standing
He squatted down with his shoulders down, barely avoiding the palm. Just when the old man was about to pursue him, he suddenly heard the sound of "click" and "click". It turned out that after the warrior squatted down, the old man was exposed to the crossbowman. In the field of vision, the crossbowman immediately fired arrows.
The old man made a diving leap and flew sideways between the crouching warrior and the flying arrows. The crouching warrior would not let him escape so easily. He turned around and looked back at the moon, swinging the horizontal sword in his hand upwards. , he was about to cut the old man into two pieces.
At the critical moment, the old man spun in the air and rolled sideways to avoid the slash. As soon as he landed, another arrow came. The old man hurriedly rushed towards the bush of sword and shield warriors. The warriors either raised their shields to block or stepped aside. Shooting with crossbows and occasionally slashing with swords, none of the dozen or so people was a master.
The old man was wandering around in the crowd, seemingly carefree and carefree, but Jiang Shuo knew in his heart that he could not defeat the shield-wielding warrior in one move, and he was already in a certain defeat, because it only took one move. After that, there must be a warrior nearby attacking from the side, or a crossbowman shooting crossbow arrows from the gap, preventing the old man from making consecutive attacks.
These crossbowmen are not ordinary soldiers. They aim and shoot with extraordinary calmness. They will not fire easily. Once they find an opening, they will not hesitate. When the sword and shield warriors attacked the old man, they took decisive action and were not in the least bit disturbed. The worry about accidental injury by crossbowmen shows that these warriors are not only strong in martial arts, but also have cooperated for a long time and have a tacit understanding.
These warriors did not form a formation. They actually fought independently, but they cooperated very skillfully. Under a flanking attack, they were probably even more powerful than ordinary formations. Because as long as there is a formation, there is a formation and a formation eye. The formation is the operating rules, and the formation eye is the person who controls the formation. As long as those who break into the formation understand the rules of the formation and win the battle, they can defeat many with one, seemingly in danger. For example, when Jiang Shuo encountered the Xuanji Formation or the Tianche Formation, because he knew the method of star official operation in Bu Tiange, he could handle it with one person against dozens of people.
But at this moment, the sword and shield warriors were using the close combat method on the battlefield. There was no fixed formation, but it was unpredictable. The reason why the old man was still able to deal with it was probably because they wanted to capture the person alive and did not kill him. The reason. The sword and shield warriors kept pushing with their shields, squeezing the old man's space for movement smaller and smaller.
Jiang Shuo said, "Brothers, do you recognize this old man?"
Both of them shook their heads, and Nan Jiyun said: "Young Master, this man is not an old man. He deliberately lowered his voice to imitate the old man's speech. His actual age is only around thirty years old."
As people grow older, their voices will gradually get older. Even if they practice until their hair turns gray and their childish face never grows old, their voices will still match their actual age. There is probably only one special case in the world, Beimingzi, but his kung fu is comparable to Beimingzi was so far behind, there was no way it could be him.
Not only did Nan Jiyun hear something different in his voice, but Hun Weiming had already figured it out. Jiang Shuo turned to look at their expressions and cursed himself for being stupid. No wonder Luo Xishi, who was in his forties, just called this "old man" " "Boy".
Jiang Shuo said: "No matter how old or young he is, since the people who came to save our Caogang are probably friends rather than enemies, how can we not save him even though he is dead?"
Nan Jiyun said: "The enemy seems to have a very tough idea. The three of us must act together to catch them by surprise and achieve a quick victory."
Hun Wei said clearly: "Nan Ba, everyone knows that you have learned the art of war from your master. Since you said this, you must have a plan in mind. Just tell me how to do it."
At this time, the sword and shield warriors in the courtyard crowded together, squeezing the "old man" so hard that there was almost no room for him to move. Seeing that the "old man" was already defeated, Jiang Shuo said urgently: "Brother Nan, please tell me how to fight."
Nan Jiyun smiled and said, "It's easy. I use bows and arrows to deal with the crossbowmen on the roof. Hun'er, grab a shield to cover me. Young Master Jiang, just wait here for us to disrupt the battle and capture the thieves." Capture the king, take Na Luoxisu, don't hurt his life, use this person as a threat, rescue people from trouble, and leave the house and the city without any problem."
Jiang Shuo said: "Okay, Brother Nan has arranged it carefully, let's do it!"
Nan Jiyun said: "I'm going!" He suddenly jumped out of the wall, already holding the iron horn bow in his hand. This bow was a gift from the Yan army for thousands of years, but it was a yak horn bow made by Tubo craftsmen. The horns are much larger than those of buffalo and farm cattle in the Central Plains, and the horn bows made with them are also much larger than ordinary horn bows, taking into account the longbow's range and
With the flexibility of the hunting bow, when Nan Jiyun jumped out, the man buckled the string in the air, and the white-feathered arrow was already shot out.
Hanging on his waist were two barrels of white-feathered arrows that were no longer gifts from He Qian, but were also made by famous craftsmen in the north. The arrow clusters were made of iron, not to mention hard and sharp. The arrow shafts were made of six-channel wood. The wood is also called Jianglong Wood. Its branches are straight and there are six white lines after polishing, so it is called "Six Paths". The wood is hard on the outside but soft on the core, so it is most suitable for making arrow shafts. The white tail feathers are the wing feathers of the white pheasant, which have the best stabilizing effect on arrow trajectories and are also the most rare tail feather material.
Nan Jiyun shot an arrow. The arrow twisted in the air like a snake, trembling forward, but its trajectory was extremely straight. It accurately hit a crossbowman on the roof. With one arrow, it hit the warrior's throat. Without even calling out, he fell from the house and died.
When Nan Jiyun landed, the second arrow was already on the string. He raised his hand and fired another arrow, hitting the second person immediately and killing him instantly.
Nan Jiyun's feet kept moving forward, and he kept shooting arrows from his hands. Those crossbowmen had been concentrating on the "old man" in the courtyard. They opened their eyes while aiming, and their field of vision was very narrow. Nan Jiyun's ability to control arrows is unparalleled in the world. When he shoots arrows, he has just the right amount of force, which is enough to kill a crossbowman. Therefore, the sound of the arrows breaking through the air is so light that no one even notices the first three arrows. It wasn't until he shot the fourth person to death that anyone noticed and screamed.
All the crossbowmen immediately turned to Nan Jiyun. There were no sword and shield warriors around him, and there was no cover. The crossbowmen could shoot without any scruples. Only the sound of hanging knives was heard, and immediately several iron arrows flew towards Nan Jiyun.
